Is kind of annoying that in most areas especially mine tactical voting is the only option if i dont want the torries back in. I saw this posted on another thread https://stopthetories.vote/ Seems to have been updated for the most recent local elections.

I'm going to pretend this was done in honour by a former lover or two. I prefer that world.

I know next to nothing about this but I'd assume the public money cost would be around sending out all the voter cards, organising venues for the voting, cost of processing the votes at various stages etc.

I occasionally use Revolut for their one time use disposable virtual cards. It's a nice app and a feature that's included in the free standard plan. Only problem I've had is sometimes the card will be rejected because the vendor thinks it's a reloadable card (presume that's how it's implemented behind the scenes), so for subscriptions and such it's not accepted on occasion. The virtual card rotates to a new card once it's been used. I more frequently use Monzo plus. Works slightly differently, they allow you to create up to 5 virtual cards, which you can reuse, or use once, delete the card and then create a new one. Monzo plus is £15 a month, so depends if you value their other features. Never used privacy.com but as I understood it, it's more like monzo plus, but without the 5 card limit.

Yeah due to the petrol price increases this month they thought it would go up but looks like that's been cancelled out by other factors.

I'll be heartbroken if Argos goes the same way. It really is so useful for those sort "I need this item today at a reasonable price" items. It often competes with Amazon on prices, and I have a reloadable gift card through work that provides a modest discount making it my go to for most purchases. My local Argos is in Saintsbury which a lot of them seem to be now and it appears to work well as a relationship.
